No-one likes general adverts, and ours hadn't been updated for ages, so we're having a clear-out and a change round to make the new ones useful to you. These new adverts bring in a small amount to help pay for the board and keep it free for you to use, so please do use them whenever you can, Let our links help you find great books on glass or a new piece for your collection. Thank you for supporting the Board.

BTW, someone awhile ago talked about a way to shorten these links, eg, some people are able to simply have there links read as 'link' or as 'here'.I'd like to know how that is done.If told, I hope I can understand it :?

Mark, I think the comment to which you're referring has to do with shortening eBay links. I definitely recall Frank discussing that in a recent previous post.

What he wrote was that with eBay links, you click on the Bid link on the item page. When the who has bid page appears (even if no one has bid), the browser link will be much shorter. Highlight and copy the browser link that will appear at the top of the page. This will be shorter than the item description page link. Then paste it into your reply box on the GMB.

If Frank has a way to shorten other potential hyperlinks, I haven't seen it recently. But, I am sure he will reply when he sees this exchange.

This specific thread is stretching too wide and extending beyond the normal monitor boundaries because of the original photo in the first post; it was definitely copied from a web photo with a very long link.

Hello & Welcome to the Board! Sometimes my replies are short & succinct, other times lengthy. Apologies in advance if they are not to your satisfaction; my main concern is to be accurate for posterity & to share my limited knowledgeFor information on exhibitions & events and to see images of my new work join my Facebook grouphttps://www.facebook.com/adamaaronsonglassIntroduction to Glassblowing course:a great way to spend an afternoon http://www.zestgallery.com/glass.

The lot - so i kinda ended up buying them, one for my collection and four to sell :wink:

It was hard to tell from the listing what to make of it in terms of age etc, most of the new czech paperweights i've seen looks different and this particular house often sells stuff it knows zip about.

I wouldn't have seen it had it not been mistakenly labelled as millefiori, which is my favorite paperweight technique.
